Sat, 29 Jun 2013 01:03:28 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2277438#comment-205548That flyers management that has the second highest winning percentage in the history of the NHL is awful? I guess compared to a management team in Pittsburgh that’s earned 13 top 5 picks in the first 39 years and led the team to multiple bankruptcies, one with in 5 years of winning a Stanley cup, is much better. Of course, that bankruptcy is more of an indictment of their “fans” than the management, I suppose.

Fri, 28 Jun 2013 17:59:07 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2277438#comment-205343I think the Lackluster peformance had a little impact on the decision, though. I think the lackluster performance is why Mason was brought to Philly. I think had intentions of keeping Bryz for a while (not the ful 9 years) but they needed cap space and they realized he was not the answer they were looking for.

From the flyers management to the city who has a statue of a fake boxer and claims to have the best cheesesteaks which is laughable , to the very intelligent fans ( sarcasm ) hate Philly from top to bottom you couldn’t pay be to breathe the same air as those people

Thu, 27 Jun 2013 21:14:49 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2277438#comment-204966The teams have unlimited buyouts; they only have 2 amnesty buyouts.
Many GMs are exercising the buyouts, and some of the contracts that are bought out were signed befoer they were the GM of that team/player.
The stringent rules on the buyout process keeps GMs “honest.” How do you define honest and how do you feel that buyouts are not honest?
Bryz was offered a deal to perform well and he accepted the offer with a huge paycheck. He did not perform well according to the Flyers, so he was bought out.
Lecaviliar was offered a deal to perform well and he accepted for a huge paycheck,also. He did perfrom well according to TB, but the conditions surrounding the contact changed (salar cap). This was beyond the control of either the GM or the player. How can the GM be held responsible.

This is not a failure in management, it is simply part of management in any industry. Employees may have to be dismissed with changes in the workforce, the economey, and/or performance.

As for being “stuck with them,” the contracts were offered with the buyout clause attached, and they are “stuck with them.” The players are still being paid 2/3 of the remaining salary as their contact stipulates.

Thu, 27 Jun 2013 20:54:30 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2277438#comment-204952The main reason for the buyout on Bryz is not his mediocre performance, but the fact that his contract was pure insanity under the rules of the new CBA. Snider pressured Homer into making a deal with Bryz and it’s great that the Flyers’ chairman indirectly accepts his responsibility for this Situation, which makes Homer look like a bigger fool than he really is…

Thu, 27 Jun 2013 20:00:38 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2277438#comment-204924i agree. i respect the guarantee for these guys. they work hard to get where they are and the system should keep gm’s honest. as a whole it should keep the buying price down on guys but when you have gm’s like holmgren doing stupid crap then the gm and the organization should be held responsible. thats why they only get 2 buyouts in the whole cba term, there had to be a concession but it shouldnt be a prevalent tool to use. look at the nfl, guys can be cut for no real reason and lose the contract and money. if an nfl team cant or just doesnt want to pay their player he can be cut for a younger cheaper guy even if he made the pro bowl and contributes. these buyouts are for major failures in management. i can understand a new gm coming in and buying out a previous gm’s mistake but when you are voiding your own deals, its a sign of poor job performance.

Thu, 27 Jun 2013 19:10:34 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2277438#comment-204885I’m sure the owner was informed of such a move and had to clear it before it was made. This wasn’t no $3-5 million buyout…. it was the biggest buyout in NHL history, at least when it was announced (lets see what the next week brings). When you pay that kind of money to a player just to fire him, I doubt the GM is allowed to do it all by himself.
